Hydro help

[mike a.]

Im building a hydroplane off of Garry Finlay's 1956 Ted jones shovel nose plans. The boat is about 23in long. It will be running on 6 cells with a Feigao 8s motor. I am planning on running a Fullers 3 1/2 in rudder with wateer pickup in it. I would also like to run 1/16th wire drive to a 1/8 in. prop shaft.


The thing that i have not figured out yet is what strut that i am going to run. Any recommondations??


Thanks
Mike a.

Look on garys plans it is pretty easy to make one out of brass flat bar and brass tubing

The 1/8 inch Octura srtut and transome bracket assembly work very well on that hull. Correct weight and easy adjustment.
